[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention mainly relates to guide lights (in the vertical direction of arrival elevator This invention relates to an elevator guidance display device equipped with a hall lantern (showing a hall lantern).

(Conventional technology) In recent years, as buildings become taller, multiple elevators are installed in parallel.
BACKGROUND ART Group management control systems have become increasingly common in which a plurality of elevators are put into service in one elevator hall to improve elevator operation efficiency and service to elevator users. In a building that performs such elevator group management control, when a customer registers for a hall call in an elevator hall, one elevator that responds to the hall call registration is promptly reserved and placed into service. In this way, the elevator arriving at the floor of the elevator hall can be notified by lighting the hall waiting guide light as a guide display device, and the up and down direction of the arriving elevator can be notified.

A conventional installation example of such an elevator guide display device will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. First, it is installed on both side walls 2a of the elevator hall 1 on each floor in a building.

Entrance/exit 3 for multiple elevators controlled by group management at 2b
A, 3b and 3c, 3d are arranged in parallel.

Each of these entrances and exits 38 to 3d is provided with a landing side door 4, which opens and closes in conjunction with the door 6 of the elevator car 5 of the arriving elevator. Each elevator allows passengers to get on and off the elevator. In addition, entrances 3a and 3b on both side walls 2a and 2b
A pair of upper and lower hall call registration display buttons 7a and 7b are provided between each of 3C and 3d, and the button 7a or 7b indicates the direction in which the customer who has come to the hall 1 wants to go up or down.
By pressing the button with your finger, the button lights up to indicate that the call has been registered, and also sends a signal to the group management control system to immediately reserve one elevator and put it into service. As such an elevator guidance display device, a pair of upper and lower hall waiting guide lights 8a, 9aXBb, 9b, 8c are installed at the upper corner of each of the entrances and exits 3a to 3d on both side walls 2a and 2b of the elevator hall 1 on each floor.
and 9c, 3d, and 9d are arranged, and the hall waiting invitation IJ corresponds to the elevator reserved in response to the registration operation of the hall call registration button 7a or 7b.
The light is turned on as shown in FIG. 6 to notify the user of the reserved elevator and to notify the traveling direction of the reserved elevator. Note that the hall's waiting guide light flashes when the elevator arrives.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, the above-mentioned hall lanterns are not cheap, and even the cheapest one currently costs around 15,000 yen. be. However, in the conventional elevator display and guidance device, as mentioned above (a pair of upper and lower hall waiting guide lights (hall lanterns) 88
．． 98-8d.

9d is installed at every elevator entrance 38 to 3d of each elevator in all elevator halls on each floor of the building. The actual cost of installing a 4X (15X2-2) Xi, 50,000 to 1,680,000 yen (lantern), and the huge construction costs such as drilling, installation, and wiring to install each of them individually, and the elevator This caused the cost to be extremely high. In addition, since each guide light is installed in many locations, maintenance such as inspection and repair of broken bulbs is difficult and costly.

Therefore, recently, there has been a strong demand for an elevator guide display device that aims to reduce equipment costs and expenses by reducing the number of hall waiting guide lights as much as possible.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problem) The elevator guide display device of the present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and is installed at each elevator entrance of each car in the elevator hall on each floor in order to solve the conventional problems. The present invention is characterized by eliminating the conventional hall waiting guide light, and instead providing a hall waiting guide light located at the upper part near the entrance/exit of the car which can be seen from the hall side when the elevator door is opened.

(Function) With the above configuration, only one pair of upper and lower hall waiting guide lights is required for the number of elevators, and the number of installations and installation locations can be significantly reduced.

In addition, when the door of the elevator that arrives at the elevator hall is opened, passengers waiting in the elevator hall on each floor can see the hall waiting guide light on the upper part of the elevator car, so they can see the up and down direction of the elevator. You can check it easily and quickly and get on board without any confusion.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. Components in the figure that have the same configuration as those shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are given the same reference numerals to simplify the explanation. First, as shown in FIG. 3, individual hall waiting guide lights are not provided at adjacent positions of the entrances 3a to 3d of the elevator hall 1, as in the past. Instead, as shown in FIG. 4, when the call is registered and the person arrives at the floor of the elevator hall 1 and the door 6 of the car 5 and the hall side door 4 linked thereto are opened, from the elevator hall 1 side. A pair of hall waiting guide lights 10 and 11 for displaying the up and down direction of travel are provided at the upper part of the car 5 near the entrance where it becomes visible. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is a pair of hole waiting areas for displaying the up and down direction of travel on the front surface (outer surface) of the mounting panel 12 for an in-car position indicator, etc., which is attached to the upper part of the elevator car 5 near the entrance. When the passenger guide lights io and 1i are installed and the elevator car 5 reserved in response to the hall call registration arrives at the floor of the elevator hall 1, the passenger waiting in either the upper or lower hall corresponding to the direction of travel. The guide light 10 or 11 blinks, and the blinking state indicates that the elevator door 4.6
It is now visible from the elevator hall 1 side of the floor.

With the elevator guidance display device having the above-described configuration, when a waiting customer in the elevator hall 1 presses the hall call registration button 5a or 5b, one of the elevators among the plurality of elevators is activated in response. The elevator is reserved, put into service, and moved to the elevator hall 1 floor. When the car 5 of the reserved elevator arrives at the elevator hall, one of the pair of hall waiting guide lights 10 and 11 installed near the entrance and exit of the car 5 corresponds to the direction of travel of the elevator. The one that blinks. In this state, when the rR6 of the elevator passenger 5 and the hall side door 4 linked to this open, the waiting passengers in the elevator hall 1 outside can see the blinking hall waiting guide light. , the direction of travel of the elevator can be confirmed. This allows the waiting passengers to quickly board the car 5 without making a mistake or being confused.

In addition, with such an elevator guidance display device, since hall waiting guide lights are installed at the fifth floor of each elevator, hall waiting guide lights can be installed at each elevator entrance on each floor as in the past. There is no longer any need for it,
The number of hall waiting guide lights required is just as many as the number of elevators, which drastically reduces the number of hall waiting guide lights and the number of installation locations.The actual cost and construction cost of hall waiting guide lights can be greatly reduced, which has a great effect on reducing the cost of elevators. In addition to this, maintenance and inspection etc. are easy and cost savings are also effective.

In addition, in the above-mentioned elevator guidance display device, if the elevator of the arriving elevator does not open, the hall waiting guide light io, '
Until then, waiting passengers cannot tell which elevator has been booked because the blinking +i symbol cannot be seen, but usually each elevator sounds a chime when it decelerates upon arrival and tells the elevator to reach the floor of the elevator hall. Since the arrival is notified to the waiting customers in the hall in advance, the waiting customers can easily know which elevator has been reserved and will arrive, and it is not so inconvenient compared to the conventional elevator.

In addition, if there are a large number of elevators installed and it is difficult to predict which elevator a waiting customer will arrive at based on the sound of the chime, it may be difficult to predict which elevator a waiting customer will arrive at by the sound of the chime. Arrival forecast indicator (not shown) at one place near the end point at the back of 1.
It is also possible to provide a signal and display a lamp on the next elevator that arrives to guide customers waiting in the hall.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since this invention has been made as described above, it is only necessary to provide a pair of hall waiting guide lights for the number of elevators that indicate the up and down direction of travel, and the number of installations and installation locations can be drastically reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in equipment costs and expenses. As a result, a great effect can be obtained in reducing the cost of elevators, and maintenance and inspection etc. are easy, which is very effective in reducing costs. In addition, when the door of the elevator that arrives at the elevator hall is opened, passengers waiting in the elevator hall on each floor can see the hall waiting guide light on the upper part of the elevator car, so they can see the up and down direction of the elevator. You can check it easily and quickly, and you can get on board without any confusion, so you won't feel that much of an inconvenience, and what's more, it will have a great effect on reducing equipment costs and expenses.
